If there aren't any fans, I would think playing on campus would be the better, safer choice.


possibly locker room setups ??

I've heard a couple reports of games being scheduled at stadiums where they have more room to spread out.


You seem to be doubting the logic in their decision making

Let go of the idea that there is a logic tree underlying the decision, and their choice is obvious

It’s the same logic parents use: “because I say so”


I am, indeed, questioning their logic.

They're going to hold a game WITH FANS in the city with the worst infection rate in the state. That's just stupid.


WF released a trailer for the game and there will be fans

on some kind of restricted basis. The biggest stadium probably allows for better spacing.

“The Deacon Club and athletics ticket office are working hard to finalize allocation options for various capacity configurations at Truist Field as well as the Duke's Mayo Classic vs. Notre Dame game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte,” Currie wrote.




What is Duke’s Mayo? Miracle Whip competitor?

Go to 1:50 for the importance of Duke's mayonnaise to Southern Women.


It's actually mayo, unlike miracle whip

but it's also a regional product.

Cook's Illustrated like's Best, followed by Hellmans.

Miracle Whip did not finish ... since it's not mayo.

They’re saying they’ll be selling tickets on an individual-game and reduced-capacity basis to fans willing to wear face masks.

No season tickets envisioned.

Even the most optimistic reports I'm hearing say the last weekend of September is the earliest start the conferences are comfortable with. I saw the post about climpsin on September 12 and I think that would be pretty tough
